Sec. 18-1
Finding Order In Diversity
• Biologists have identified 1.5 million species, and
they estimate 2-100 million species have yet to
be identified
• Order out of chaos?
• Classification
– A system to name and group
organisms in a logical order, used
to study diversity of life
• Taxonomy
– Classifying organisms and giving
them a universally accepted name
Scientific Name? Common Name?
• Using common names is confusing
– Mountain lion, cougar, bear cat, puma, panther
Grrrrrr.
.
• 18th century scientists agreed to use a single name for each
species, and to use Latin as the common language
• Carolus Linnaeus- a Swedish botanist
Box 8
(mid 1700’s) who developed the
binominal nomenclature system of 2 Rules of the Binominal
Nomenclature System:
naming organisms

All bears are NOT
alike- but they are all
bears.
Scientific
Names
Scientific Names of bears:
Common Name: Grizzly
Bear
Scientific Name: Ursidae
Ursus arctos
Common Name: Polar Bear
Scientific Name: Ursidae
Ursus maritimus
Common Name: Black
Bear
Scientific Name: Ursidae
Ursus americanus
What are the reoccurring
words?
Common Name: Panda
Bear
Scientific Name: Ursidae
Ailuropoda melanoleuca
Common Name: Sloth
Bear
Scientific Name: Ursidae
Melursus ursinus
Scientific Names
• For a grizzly bear, Ursus is the genus name
Common Name: Grizzly Bea
and arctos is the species name
Scientific Name: Ursus arcto
• Species names are unique to that individual group of
organisms and are usually a description of an important
trait or an indication of where that organism lives
• Ursus maritimus, where does he live?
– Maritim means to live near the sea
Felis domesticus, cat
what does “domesticus” mean?
Domesticus = “of the house”
Meow.
Common Name: Polar Bear
Scientific Name: Ursus maritimus
Linnaeus’s System of Classification
• Linnaeus’s system is hierarchical, and includes
7 levels (largest to smallest)
Example: Humans
Kingdom
Animalia
Largest- plants, animals, insects, fish, bacteria- everything
fits in here

closely related to the
polar bear, the squirrel
or the fox?

Kingdoms and Domains
Tree of Life
• In Linnaeus’s time, life was
much simpler. Either you
were a plant or an animal.
• Today, classification is more
complicated.
– Protists? Bacteria?
Viruses?
Domain
Three Domain System
• Now, we have another level added to Linnaeus’s 7
level system, called Domains
• Today, we have 3 Domains
– Bacteria = all bacteria in the
kingdom Eubacteria, unicellular,
members are Prokaryotes
– Archae = includes the
kingdom Archaebacteria
– Eukarya = protists, fungi, plants and
animals

Classification Crest:
• On the left side pages, directly
across from your notes, you are
to create a classification crest.
Create a crest for King Phillip.
Be sure to include the phrase,
King Phillip came over for good
spaghetti and the 7 levels of
classification:
• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order,
Family, Genus and Species
• Include Color!!!
